So my missus rings me in a bit of a state, she’s blocking the road in her TD5 90 as the clutch pedal has stuck down.
Also she says the gear lever is stuck in second gear.
Which seems like two opposite faults to me.
Anyway, she says managed to select first gear but there’s no drive.
And then a very nice man in another Defender stops and offers a tow, but pulls the pedal up and after that all is fine!!
Missus drives home and no problem now.
Clutch and flywheel are brand new, fitted two months ago.
Driving it yesterday l noticed more free play in the pedal than there should be, although it was working right at the bottom of the pedal travel.
So l bled the clutch hydraulics last night and it seemed fine after that.
l take it the clutch is OK as it’s new. I’ve ordered a master and slave cylinder but am foxed by my missus saying she couldn’t select any gears and the lever was “stuck in second gear” with the engine running but there was no drive.
Although she said that when she managed to select first gear the engine stalled.
